It seems as if more and more of them are getting in trouble like noted in the article J.R. Smith and Antonio Cromartie being fined. What do you think about it? Should athletes be able to give unfiltered feedback on things? Or do they need to have regulations and things to consider before posting their "tweets".

Alabama/Utah Sugar Bowl USC/Penn State Rose Bowl Texas/Ohio State Fiesta Bowl Virginia Tech and Cincinnati have to play in the Orange Bowl, so that means no Texas Tech? What a crock of s***. I'm so tired of having to watch the Ohio State Suckeyes get their brains beat in, year in year out, by teams that are superior when it comes to athletically. NOTE BCS: WE WANT TO SEE COMPETITIVE GAMES, DUMB***ES!

Patriots beat writer Mike Reiss wonders if Mike Vrabel's trade could be part of a larger deal including Matt Cassel. Now that would be a doozy. Reiss is one of the most well-respected beat writers in the country, and is usually very cautious to publish anything resembling speculation. He rightly points out that we have no idea what the compensation in the Vrabel trade is.

There has been a lot of talk for years about crooked refs, and fixed games in the NBA. I have believed the hype for quite some time, especially considering I hate some of the teams that have won. I have varied thoughts on this, but basically I see Donaghey like Canseco. Both were called cheats. Both were proven cheats. Both said that others were involved. Both were dismissed as liars.
